Biography

Stephen Klassen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Brock University. His research program focuses on neural communication strategies used by the brain to regulate the cardiovascular system, ensuring human survival during physiological stressors such as physical exercise. He investigates the fundamental sympathetic neural messages directed toward circulation that support human survival, and how failures in these systems contribute to human diseases. His laboratory employs microneurography to study the action potential discharge patterns of sympathetic nerves in humans. Dr. Klassen collaborates with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and is actively recruiting undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, to join his research initiatives.
